Kids’ Science Challenge Opportunities for 3rd through 6th Graders
We're hoping you'll spread the word to museum visitors about the “Kids'
Science Challenge”. With the help of the “National Science Foundation”,we've
created a fun way to turn kids on to science. And right now we'reoffering
incentives to enter the competition - free science activity kits. The Kids'
Science Challenge is a nationwide competition or 3rd to 6th graders, funded by the
National Science Foundation.” Kids learn about four fun scientific fields
and then submit a question, problem, or experiment to be solved.
The scientific fields are: flavor science, water quality, skateboard, and
the search for life in outer space. Winners will receive a trip to visit and
collaborate with the scientists to turn their ideas into a reality – and
they'll be featured on “Pulse of the Planet “radio programs (www.pulseplanet.com),
“Kids' Science Challenge” video podcasts, or “Dragonfly
TV.”
“The Kids' Science Challenge” web site,
kidsciencechallenge.com<http://www.kidsciencechallenge.com, includes downloadable science projects, fun videos,
educational games, and lesson plans for classroom or after-school use that
are aligned to National Science Education Standards.
The first 1000 kids to enter the competition will receive free science
activity kits. These hands-on kits include a fingerboard (mini-skateboard), water
test strips, flavor-tasting strips, and a CD with a secret coded message from
"aliens." Complete instructions are included. This is a great opportunity
for a group science learning experience.
If you would like some brochures and cards for museum visitors - along with
countertop displays - just let us know how many you need and where we should
send them.
